Help with combining dates

[Anonymous]

Hi All

Completely new to the forum so thanks in advance for any help you can give me. 

I'm trying to combine some dates and some fields together into the same report. Structure of data below.

2nd website launched (date) - ContactTable1

3rd website launched (date) - ContactTable1

4th website launched (date) - ContactTable2

I essentially want to group all those dates together as 'Redesign Date' and be able to control them all under a date slicer.

Then the following fields will make up the report. (essentially I need a count of the different UOP's within each field.

2nd Website UOP

3rd Website UOP

4th Website UOP 

all of these are in ContactTable4

I'm stumped, my knowledge is very basic, however.

can anyone help?

Thanks

Nick

One way is that you join them with a common date table. Those are in one table, only one can have active join. You can change join using userelation.

Tough to say without a better sense of your source data and expected result.

Hi Greg.

thank you for coming back to me. my source data is from SQL Server. The data I'm using is split over 5 tables, however, I only require 6 or 7 specific columns.  I want to amalgamate those dates so I essentially have 1 date column that contains all the data from 2nd, 3rd and 4th website launched. does that make sense? 

thanks

Hi @Anonymous ,

Maybe we can deal with the source data first. Could you please provide the structures of these 5 tables in SQL Server? Which table these required columns are from? Please also provide some sample data(exclude sensitive data) and expected results just like the below screenshot. 

Best Regards

Hi @Anonymous thank you for your reply.

I have included 3 images below, current data relationships (all linked by ID number), proposed table (as per your screenshot) and a desired outcome on the report, I have done this already for 1st website data where there was only 1 date so it was straight forward. let me know if you need me to provide anything else.

thanks

Hi @Anonymous,

You can create one calculated table as below:

Table = SUMMARIZECOLUMNS(
'TBL CONTACT'[ID],
'TBL CONTACT'[STATUS],
"DATE LAUNCHED",MAX(MAX(MAX('CONTACTABLE 1'[2ND WEBSITE LAUNCHED]),MAX('CONTACTABLE 1'[3RD WEBSITE LAUNCHED])),MAX('CONTACTABLE 2'[4TH WEBSITE LAUNCHED])),
"DATE ORDERED",MAX(MAX(MAX('TBL CONTACT'[2ND WEBSITE ORDERED]),MAX('CONTACTABLE 1'[3RD WEBSITE ORDERED])),MAX('CONTACTABLE 2'[4TH WEBSITE ORDERED])),
"UOP",MAX(MAX(MAX('CONTACTABLE 4'[2ND WEBSITE UOP]),MAX('CONTACTABLE 4'[3RD WEBSITE UOP])),MAX('CONTACTABLE 4'[4TH WEBSITE UOP])))

Best Regards

Rena!!!

I can't thank you enough, that has worked and its exactly what I was after. thank you again.

I'm assuming that as new data is added to those columns my new table just automatically updates? 

thank you again, so much.
